April

Tyrone belts oneway out to the divots where Rita dug in her heelsscreaming, fighting Tyrone,who knew to leave the shiv in or she'd bleed out.

She did it to herself.Today was fun, butwe missed Rita, who couldn't come.________"the flowers bloom like madness in the spring" --Jenny Anderson

"No matter how hard the winter, regardless how bumbling they were the year before, come April we always thought our team would be in the thick of it. With the ice melted and everybody 0-0, just the crack of the bat was enough to make the hardest of us believe that our hearts would not be broken this time, and that a benevolent God surely loved the Cubs, just as we did." --Jeanette Prolsky

I almost used this song for mine!Some rather foul plays out there in the outfield, but you win some, you lose some. Maybe Rita will be back next year. Of course April means de base-a-ball to you, world's foremost Tiger fan. I have heard some people do love the Cubs, but I'm thinkin, not quite as much as Ms. Prolsky. ;_)

My new book !

Modesty spoken here.

"I have been blessed with these two gorgeousWings and I refuse to load my heart with weights."

--Marina Tsvetaeva

“I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.” ― Jack London, The Turtles of Tasman

"The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all." — Ted Hughes
